Occupational
therapy is a health profession that focuses on helping individuals
with mental or physical illness/disabilities to achieve the
highest level of functioning and wellness possible in their daily
lives. In other words occupational therapy is skilled treatment
that helps individuals with disabilities, achieve independence in
all facets of their lives. This includes performance of all daily
normal activities in work, play, leisure etc.

Occupational therapists (OT's) work with those who have
physically, mentally, developmentally, or emotionally disabling
conditions. They help patients identify imbalances they may have
in their lives and design activities to deal with them. This type
of therapy is patient specific, involving recreational, creative
or educational activities. The patient's specific interests, his
background, his previous experiences also form an integral part of
treatment.

OT's area of work includes giving customized treatment programs
for specific disabilities, evaluating home and work environments
and giving recommendations for necessary adaptation, recommending
adaptive equipment for permanent/temporary loss of function, such
as wheel chairs, splints, aids for eating and dressing needed for
the patient and training them in its use, assessing and recording
the patients progress periodically and also giving guidance to
family members and care givers how to care for the patient.

Occupational therapists use various methods in the treatment of
their patients to assist them in maximizing their potential in the
categories of occupational performance areas and occupational
performance components. The term occupational performance area
refers to all activities of daily living, such as grooming,
dressing, food preparation and eating, communication, and
mobility; work activities, including home management, care of
others, educational activities, and vocational activities; and
play or leisure activities. The term occupational performance
component refers to the functional abilities required to perform
